that keep attention the alert. and carry in :
terest to the highest pitch in the climax and
anti-climax that the rule of the Duke of Aiva In
Brussels supplies. The plot turns upon the in
fidelity OF the wife of Count de Rynoor, a
Flemish noble whose devotion is given to his
country. Karioor. the wife's lover, is the
adopted son of the count, and the magnanlmity
of his forgiveness as he is about to march to the
block furnishes Of the best pieces of acting IN
the whole drama. Alva's devotion to his
daughter is the -edeeming feature to his muir
derous sway in Flanders. Heretofore the kIral-
fys have subordinated the drama to the ballet,
but this attraction the reverse IS true
of the Wild GYPSY dance and the DresofBa two
wonderfully strong accessories OF the spectacu-
lar. In the play Newton Gotthold takes the
role of Count de Ryuon His acting has fully
ripeded with age retaining the vigor and per

best leading in the line OF the old stock

The Iroran's Hours Of Prayer.

The Koran has fixed the hours that
must be consecrated to prayers. These
prayers, namazi, are five in number. The
most solemn is the morning prayer; it is
the sabah namazi; it is uttered after the
dawn, just before the rising of the sun.
The second Is the midday prayer, Guile
namazi The third, jkindy naInazi, must
be offered just before the setting OF the
sun. The evening prayer, aacliam ma
mazi, is uttered just before The shadows
conceal the horizon. Finally, the last and
fifth prayer, yatcy namazi, is uttered In
the interval after shutdown and just be-
fore dawn.
The hour of prayers IS regularly pro-
claimed to the faithful by the imams,
called muezzins, who walk around
the balcony of the minarets, sing
ing, in melancholy voice, this
unvarying itany: God, the most
hight I here proclaim that there is no
God but God Iproclaim that Moham-
med is the prophet Of God. Come to the
temple of salvation. Great God God

Had Swallowed His Teeth.

A short time since man was taken to
one of the hospitals suffering intense
pain. He informed the doctors that his
home was down in the country, and that
If he should die he wished to be sent
there. The physicians asked him what
he supposed caused the pain. ''Why, !
swallowed my plate and four false teeth
while ASLEEP the other night" was the
answer. The patient was put upon
liquid food and all the examinations
made by the nedicos failed to locate the
swallowed article. The mans sufferings
were lessened considerably and as test
it was decided to give him a little piece
Of beefsteak. This was done and the
poor patient was writhing in agony as
soon as he had swallowed mouthful.
''Oh, my God!' he exclaimed, ''this is
killing mel l know shall die!" and nu-
merous other such speeches.
The physicians and nurses could hardly
keep him in bed, he suffered so much.
Again he broke forth in EXPLANATIONS.
This time he said: ''Oh, how / suffer!
[ can feel the teeth tearing my stomach
apart Oh" he did not finish until a
nurse opened a telegram from his wife.
It read: Found teeth under bed" The
suffering man, who had swallowed those
teeth, got up and dressed, paid his bill
and left the hospital without word

Time for Recreation.

What little reputation | have as m
author was fairly won while / was q
hard working and successful lawyer. On
the other hand, my literary work never
interfered in the least with my law prac-
tice. / look upon well set method of
working as the chief secret of success in
any under taking, provided the native
ability TO ilcceed be granted. believe
in the moral influence and vitalizing
force of playing. A man or woman
needs play -recreation-or whatever is
the opposite of work. / have always
found time for outdoor sports and have
been the gamer from them in every
sense. II is morbid view of life which
would show that in order TO succeed one
must work all the year round. Play is
profitable If held within the bounds pre-
scribed by good judgment.
l have frequently lost business in
my profession by being absent from my
Office when client called, but it has not
made me poor or wIetched. On the con
trary, / have gone right on getting to-
gether comfortable little fortune, de-
spite the clients have lost. and am glad
whenever think about the pleasure |
had at my outdoor recreation while some
some needier or more money loving law
yer was getting few cases at my ex-
pense. To some people it may sound
like romance when ! say that for nine
years past have spent on an average
three months of each year in outdoor re-
creation, at the same time successfully
practicing law and pursuing literary
work with sufficient returns to make
very comfortable bank account. Mean
time have been cheerful, in good health
and at all times glad to be alive. What
is the secret? Steady habits, promptness
in meeting every obligation in law or lit
erature, and conscientious reliance upon
the value of painstaking labor.-Maurice

Winter Resorts of Europe.

The great winter resorts of Europe for
those in search Of mild weather are to be
found in the south of France and Italy,
including Sicily. The principal places
where good hotels, coy villas and the
comforts of life are to be found are Bar
ritz and Pau (the first on the seacoast,
the second in the Pyrenees), Hyeres,
Cannes, Nice and Mentone, in France,
and San Reno, in Italy, all on the Medi-
terranean between Marseilles and Genoa.
At these places good comfortable quarters,
good society. good shops and able. ply
sicians may be found, with many more
diversions and pleasures than can be had
at the winter resorts in our own country.
For persons in health, and for those in
delicate health without any settled lung
or throat trouble, for such as desire or
require an open air life in q mild winter
climate. they all offer attractions and
comforts greater as q whole than any ]
have ever found elsewhere; but, like all
climatic resorts. they have their obiec-
tionabIc features when presented for the
abode of consumptives, which should
neither be unknown nor forgotten. Will

The Western Settlers Chosen Specific.

With every advance of emigra-
ton into the far West, a new de-
mand Is created for Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. Newly peopled regions
are frequently less salubrious than
older settled localities, on account of
the miasma which rises from recent
ly cleared land, particularly along
the banks of rivers that are SUBJECT to
freshets. The agricultural or mining
emigrant soon learns, when he does
not already know, that the Bitters
afford the only sure protection against
malaria, and those disorders of the
Stomach, liver and bowels, to which
climate changes, exposure, and unac-
custumed or unhealthy water or diet
subject him. Consequently, he
places an estimate upon this great
household specific and preventive
commensurate with its intrinsic mer-
its, and is careful to keep on hand a
restorative and promoter of health
so implicitly to be relied upon in
